Backed by Y Combinator · trusted by contractors nationwide
A lead is worthless if you can't price the job fast. Houzz Pro leaves estimating thin; Bolster's AutoCost prices every line with real, local material and labor costs from 100M+ items — accurate the moment you finish.
Houzz Pro makes pretty design boards. Bolster turns the estimate into an interactive proposal with optional items and good/better/best upgrades the client adds themselves — so the average job grows without a sales pitch.
Describe the project and Bolster's Construction Intelligence runs the entire flow — scoping the work, building the estimate, measuring the takeoff, and generating photoreal renderings like the one shown. Houzz Pro's visuals stop at design; they don't price or build the job.
Houzz Pro is built to market and design. Bolster is built to win and deliver the job.
